Stephen Howlett is running for a seat in Idaho’s House, representing Bonner and Boundary counties. He works in construction and understands the lives of working people.

The Republican, unbalanced tax bill that passed nationally, favors the rich and powerful, but gives a pittance to the rest of us. This pittance is being eaten up by the rising cost of living, leaving us a flat net-income, or worse.

Stephen wants to make our State’s economy work for all of us. He supports increasing the minimum wage, expanding Medicaid, keeping rural Idaho industries profitable and fixing our highway infrastructure. He wants to reinvest in education to help Idaho’s students in today’s economy.

Vote for Stephen Howlett, a working man for working people.
